Raspberry Brothers Vs Jason This Friday The 13th
11/04/2009
.
(Knitting Factory) On Nov. 14th, the Raspberry Brothers, a team of NYC comedians, will be mocking the 1980s horror flick Friday the 13th, part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, live at the Knitting Factory. The Knitting Factory will put three of the city's best comics against Jason to see if the microphone is mightier than the bloody hatchet!
This will be the first in a series of regular Raspberry Brothers performances at the new Brooklyn venue, with multiple shows coming up in the calendar until a regular weekly time slot can be secured. Over the past year, the Raspberry Brothers have been honing their commentary skills in NYC at the Chelsea Cinemas with films like Top Gun, Garden State, and Snakes on a Plane. Now, the troupe is psyched to bring the show to their home turf and take some cheap shots at one of film history's most laughably dull monsters, Jason Vorhees.
"Where comedy is concerned, it's hard to go wrong with a cast of writers whose credits include both SNL and the Onion. The Bros. bring their movie commentary A-game" �Flavorpill
About the movie: This is probably the worst of the Fri. the 13th series, as Jason doesn't really take anything. The movie company made a big cut to the film's budget right before shooting, forcing the film to pull out of NYC and move to a remote studio set. At least the Muppets kept their titular promise to bite the Big Apple.
"You'll love the show where classic bad movies are screened while three comedians heckle it for the crowd's enjoyment" � NY Daily News
Schedule: Saturday, November 14th
11:55pm, Fri. the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan w/ the Raspberry Brothers
